Earl Grey tea, with milk or lemon?

Question

I've always had earl gray tea with milk and not lemon but now i heard that english people always have it with lemon and not milk, who's right?

Answer 1

No one is right. The way you take your tea is just a personal preference.
Generally milk is used to decrease the bitterness of tea, which if you are using good tea and not steeping it too long will not occur anyway.

It's good to try different things, so try lemon instead of milk one time and make up your own mind.

Answer 2

Earl Grey With Milk

Answer 3

I don't know about properly, but I do know that you should only put lemon in bland teas- such as Earl Grey. If you want to add milk to tea, put it in teas that don't need extra flavoring- like orange spice, or cinniman. I'd also try milk in camomile. If you're a dangerous eater, meaning that you like spice, then you should switch what I just said.
